Rice is what Filipinos everyday staple is. Eating without Rice, is just like a feeling of having a bitter pill when your sick and ill (nice rhyme?). True! the fact that you haven’t eat Rice during lunch your stomach will long for more food. But how really important Rice is for us Filipinos? Well majority of the population eat this, even eating one Rice meal a day will be a symbol of status for our fellow Filipinos who’s been beaten by the high poverty rate in this beloved country (Pilipinas). And government making efforts about it, but then we must push it much harder as we could to really reach the poorest one.
In speaking of Rice, it’s the new buzz of the town. Every news channel, reporting that our country has Rice shortage(as if we will no longer have to eat rice to clamp down the said Crisis??) and even worse some of the Rice Miller (or maybe hoarder) was being raided due to this crisis. And now Agrarian people is putting the blame of rice shortage due to Land conversion. Which means putting up subdivisions to on small percentage of Philippine farmland… sad to hear that this situation was left unattended and continuosly happening as of this moment. Well all of the said situation contributes to Rice shortage. So we have to resort on importing our rice from Thailand and Vietnam. This issue is selling like hot cakes to Filipinos.
And speaking of HOT… Summer is here. And we all know that We Filipinos loves to go to beach during this month. During lunch time 1pm sunlight is really scorching hot! So people in the Metro just walk in to the Big Malls that we have and enjoy the cool refreshing airconditioning of these malls. But there’s one thing that we don’t have to miss, of course HALO-HALO! Yummy and deliciously enough, Filipinos are really proud of it becuse even foreigners really love this treat during Summer. And you will really love the refreshing Ice together with milk and fruit coctails of Halo-Halo. And of course, if there’s no Halo-Halo you can just buy Juice in a pack plus a really cold ice and Success Summer Heat will be relieve….ahhahhhh, Refreshing! Beat the Heat of the Sun… Enjoy your Summer.
